The East Midlands Branch hosted a full day workshop to develop members’ formal debriefing techniques, an excellent and thought-provoking session run my Nigel Humphreys from the East Midlands Committee. The day included a series of structured group activities:

Reviewing the NOS against their own role

Completed a personal learning style questionnaire

Peer reviewed & benchmarked several debrief reports

Demonstrated use of the experiential learning cycle as a debriefing methodology

Explored the Joint Decisions Model as a debriefing model

Explored several communication styles

Reflected upon their own style / performance as a facilitator

This excellent day, attended by 8 EPS members can be duplicated elsewhere in UK, contact the branch chair – Andy McCombe – for more details.

It isn’t often that any workshop planned for a Friday draws a full crowd but the strategic coordination event hosted by Chair of the East Midlands Branch, Andy McCombe, all but filled the lecture theatre at Leicestershire Police HQ on the 21st September. Delegates...

The first joint Branch and Professional Working Group seminar was held at Leicestershire Police HQ on 12 July. Thirty five members and paying guests spent an informative day learning about the threat, defence measures, training and exercising plus a case study. Due to the raised profile of CBRN in UK it is hoped that the CBRN PWG will work with other branches to develop learning. Andy McCombe, Chair of the East Midlands Branch, said that it was great to see so many members from other branches making the trip to improve their knowledge and network with other members and guests.

Many thousands of people offered their help. There were over 10,000 emails to the Grenfell volunteer email address and thousands more made their way to the area and found ways to help. Volunteers’ efforts made a tremendous contribution to the community response to the tragedy.
